DC are virtually out of the tournament even though on paper they still have a chance. They end their campaign today and even a win can take them only to 14 but due to their poor net run rate they will remain outside of the top four.

LSG are also in a precarious situation with 12 points in 12 matches. They too have a poor net run rate in fact their net run rate figure is the worst among all the teams that are still in the fray to qualify for the playoffs.

They will have to win both their games to keep their hopes alive of finishing in the top four.
